Sanskriti Sanghi & Siddhant Chatterjee

March 12, 2021

Can a structure of governance for the digital realm be achieved? Which values would it prioritize? Who would be its stakeholders? If these questions intrigue you, keep reading to learn about our flagship project and how you can participate in it! We invite legal aid clinics, research centres, pro bono committees, student organizations interested in conducting impactful research, as well as independent researchers, experts and students to participate in Project Aristotle!


Project Aristotle will be conducted as a clinic on comparative constitutional law and policy in which our endeavour is to prepare a research guide on what a structure of governance for the digital realm can look like when it is informed by interdisciplinary country-specific legal and policy research and analysis. The project shall aim at understanding how, politically, philosophically, legally, and socially, constitutional models which are proven (in a certain sense) structures of governance in the physical world can be translated into the virtual world, whether they even should, and to what extent.


By participating in, you will be involved in cutting edge research and be part of a global network of thinkers aspiring to influence the architecture of the digital ecosystem.If you would like to collaborate with us, please fill out the following form.
